What do you know about Mr. Tetracycline? Tetracyclines specifically inhibit the 30S ribosomal subunit, hindering the binding of the aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. Protein synthesis is the use of ribosomes, whose job is to translate an mRNA code into functioning proteins. In eukaryotes, this occurs on ribosomes with the 40S and 60S subunits. In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, protein synthesis occurs using ribosomes with the 30S and 50S subunits. At these sites, the ribosome transfer RNA (tRNA), which is charged with an amino acid, binds to the mRNA template. The subsequent binding of each tRNA charged with an amino acid contributes to the formation and elongation of cellular proteins. When this process halts, a cell can no longer maintain proper functioning and will be unable to grow or further replicate. This type of impairment by the tetracyclines makes them “bacteriostatic.” American Society for Microbiology Microbiology Society #microbiology #pharmacy #antibiotics #drug #microorganism #AMR

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has officially approved the proposed Chapter <86> Bacterial Endotoxins Test Using Recombinant Reagents! This will allow users to perform the necessary verification needed to adopt a synthetic reagent as their compendial endotoxin detection method officially in May 2025. PYROSTAR Neo+ utilizes the Kinetic Chromogenic Assay (KCA) for endotoxin measurement. This cutting-edge solution mirrors the current LAL measurement protocols, ensuring a smooth transition for your laboratory. What sets PYROSTAR Neo+ apart? Composed of recombinant Factor C, Factor B, and a proclotting enzyme, it delivers consistent and reliable endotoxin detection with a sensitivity range from 50 down to 0.001 EU/mL. This means you can have confidence in your results while adhering to the latest regulatory standards! We invite you to explore how PYROSTAR Neo+ can enhance your safety protocols and elevate your lab’s performance. Dive into the future of endotoxin testing with us!
